Trophy Deer
One
thing you will notice at the Selman ranch is that we are very personable
and love to visit and have a good time. We carry that philosophy over
to our hunting operation. We do not have more than 6-8 hunters at the
ranch during our deer seasons. Last year, opening rifle weekend, we had
6 hunters and all the hunters were seeing 6-12 bucks per day. The Selman
ranch has been managing for larger bucks every year. During the 2003 rifle
season, we were seeing more ten point bucks than any smaller bucks. That
is a true testament to our management practices. We are continually upgrading
the quality of our food plots. We will be planting oats, wheat, and alfalfa
this year - weather allowing. Also, the ranch is bordered by wheat fields
and other crops to ensure nutrition to our deer year around. We are adding
blinds every year. We offer wood blinds, enclosed and heated blinds, and
also tree blinds to raise your chances at seeing the buck you would want
to take home.
The
Lodging at the ranch is some of the best you will find. There is nothing
better then waking up in the morning and seeing deer out in the front
pasture and in the yard. The abundant wildlife is all around you!
Gary Lantz, in a
deer hunting story appearing in the National Journal of the National
Rifle Association of two boys (Jake 9 and Josh 11) and their father:
"The
weather was windy, yet not exceptionally cold the Friday following Thanksgiving
when Jake and Josh arrived at the game-rich Selman Ranch- 14,000 acres
of native prairie nestled amid the breaks separating northwest Oklahoma's
Buffalo Creek and the broad valley of the Cimarron River. Sue Selman runs
a trophy deer, turkey and quail hunting operation..." "...Josh soon brought
down a buck of his own, ...just a little bit bigger than the deer Jake
had shot the afternoon before."
